Counting occurrences in an Unicode/ANSI file with FFIND is incorrect if character/word is at end of file (on last line) and file doesn't end with cr/lf.
With cr/lf at eof the counting is correct.

Example 1:
Create an Unicode or ANSI file containing 1 line with letter A.
Add a CR/LF at end of file and close the file.
File should be 3 character long in ANSI or 8 character long in Unicode with BOM.
FFIND /t"A" /v fileName returns "1 line in 1 file" ==> Correct.

Test data:
41 0d 0a (Uppercase A) ANSI
ff fe 41 00 0d 00 0a 00 (Uppercase A) Unicode with BOM
[C:\]ffind /t"A" /v fileName

---- C:\Temp\fileName
A

1 line in 1 file

Example 2:
Create an Unicode or ANSI file containing 1 line with letter A.
Close the file.
File should be 1 character long in ANSI or 4 character long in Unicode with BOM.
FFIND /t"A" /v filename returns nothing ==> Incorrect.

Test data:
41 (Uppercase A) ANSI
ff fe 41 00 (Uppercase A) Unicode with BOM
ffind /t"A" /v 1
[C:\]ffind /t"A" /v fileName

---- C:\Temp\fileName

Reproducible: Always.

Like LIST (with which it shares most of its code), FFIND is (1) slow, and (2) obsolete. LIST has been replaced by VIEW, and FFIND has been replaced by TPIPE.

FFIND (like LIST) has always been line based. If you don't have a CR/LF (or at least a LF), you don't have a line.
